Camera mount to get good view of front of printer and control the backbround

I had the camera mounted further in, and I realized I wanted to see the extruder servo turning and I wanted a consistent background to provide contrast to my prints.  I also wanted lighting so that I could print at night without leaving the lights on.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out so far.

Four seconds in to the video is where I turned off the overhead lights.  It actually gives a better view with the camera lights only.  I also like that I can see the bed heater light.

As you have discovered, the forum only accepts a very limited number of file formats. You have to zip/archive pretty much anything but images. This includes stl, and 3mf project files.

Thanks for sending me the arm files.  Is there a specific camera you used?
